How to Resolve Printer Ink Issues?

Read and apply the steps given in this article if your canon printer is not ejecting ink while printing or if a blank document comes out of the Printer after dispatching the command. Keep in mind this type of issue is necessarily a printer malfunction and not a driver or computer system problem. Troubleshoot the issue using the following directions.

• Check if the ink cartridge is empty or dried out. The ink cartridge can be empty, and in that case, you need to take out the cartridge by opening the Printer's scanning unit and refill it with the ink. When the ink is empty in the cartridge, the ink lamps turn on, indicating the need to refill it. In case the cartridge is dried out, replace it with a fresh cartridge.

• Make sure that the orange film or the protective layer is still on the ink cartridge. If the orange film is on, slowly peel it off the cartridge.

• Try printing the nozzle pattern to determine the plugged parts of the printing head. If there is any problem with the printing head, clean it and perform the printing of the nozzle pattern. If the issue is not resolved, do the print head deep cleaning and then try printing the nozzle pattern.
